ArtemisininNew research
being done at the University of Washington is showing promise for
treating some specific cancers with an herbal extract that has
been used for malaria, called Artemisinin. It has low toxicity
when given in proper doses orally, and has shown some
effectiveness with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) and lymphosarcoma in
dogs when used at a dosage of 50-100 mg twice a day for a large
breed. It is also being used to treat breast cancer in humans. It
is apparently more effective when given along with iron salts. See
the following for more information, several of which mention
studies done with dogs:
